Netflix Is Testing A Shuffle Button For People Who Spend More Time Choosing The Movie Than Watching It

Netflix Shuffle Play will save you precious time.

With so many options for TV shows and movies, clicking through your Netflix queue can be overwhelming.
But luckily, Netflix knows that its plethora of choices can be impossible to choose from, so the platform created a solution for our streaming indecision.

Netflix Shuffle Play will save you precious time.

What is Netflix Shuffle Play?

The new feature, aptly called Netflix Shuffle Play, works similarly to the shuffle button on any music service like Apple Music or Spotify.
If you just don’t know what to watch, simply click “Shuffle Play” and Netflix will randomly select a TV show or movie for your streaming pleasure, based on your previous viewing history and preferences.

The idea stems from Netflix wanting to cater to viewers’ tastes and to feel like a more traditional TV experience, you turn it on and something is already playing for you to watch.

How to find Netflix Shuffle Play?

The streaming service is currently testing out Netflix Shuffle Play, so don’t be surprised if you don’t have the feature on your app yet. Shuffle Play on Netflix is currently only on TV apps, not devices like laptops or tablets, so if you don’t have a smart TV, you can’t try Shuffle Play on Netflix just yet. If you do have Netflix on your TV, the Shuffle Play button will appear just below your user profile on the home screen.
